Re: S6 toolkit clip

["Anthony K.B. Chan" <chan@seattleu.edu>]

Did you guys find the U-shaped wire tool in the little tool kit with the 
lug wrench? I have one of those for my 92' 100 base model. The 92' 100 
base model has plastic hubcabs over the stamp steel wheel, the U-shaped 
hook is for pulling the plastic hubcaps off. I don't know if any one of 
you who seen the hubcaps on base 92' 100 V6 model, There are alot of 
little square shaped holes around the perimeter of the hubcaps. You put 
the hook ends of the U-shaped ends to two of these square holes and you 
pull on it then hubcab come off. It's very hard to get them off with a 
screwdrives since the hubcaps are made of flexible plastic not the usual 
hard abs stuff which tend to crack very easily.

Funnily the other day I was sitting at the alignment shop waiting for my 
car, a guy in an Audi 100 identical to mine pull up and ask me how I get 
those hubcaps off since he had a hack of a time getting them off the 
wheel with a screwdriver.
